    How do I stop O.D.P. fees from my TD account?

    I feel like it's such an unnecessary fee. I also don't remember signing up for it. Why is this not part of the already expensive monthly account fee? How is this $5 ODP fee half as expensive as life insurance. If you don't have the money in your account, then the bank should not allow any...

    Hi Guys, which one do you think makes most sense, I really can not decide, on one side, I do not see them raising Prime much higher than what it is today! (7.2) on another I also don't see them lowering it anytime soon! but the difference is so close (5yr Vr P-0.8=6.40%) OR (3yr Fix 6.05%) can...

You can't see the toilet from the kitchen. Both rooms feel larger than if there was complete separation...
